Most recent edition of the Touhou M-1 Grand Prix

The Touhou M-1 Grand Prix (東方M-1ぐらんぷり) is a series of CD/DVDs released by R-Note (formerly YELLOW ZEBRA) wherein the characters from Touhou perform animated manzai skits. The project is built around a mock manzai tournament, also hosted and judged by the characters from the series.

There are currently 10 editons of the M-1 Grand Prix and two remakes of the 1st and 2nd M-1 Grand Prix.

Miko suggests Kokoro should become a gourmet critic to improve her facial expressions. Kokoro acts harsh towards bad food, but Miko convinces her to lie about it so she can get paid a large ammount of money.

Tewi keeps keeping wild animals as pets and wants to show them to Reisen. / Mokou interrupts TeiReisen's skit to defy Kaguya. Kaguya tricks Mokou into thinking she's a special guest for her own "TV show".

The Ten Desires cast can be considered too; even though Yoshika has only appeared briefly in manzai from the 7th and 8th Grand Prix, and Mamizou faked to be Nue in the 9th Grand Prix

The Subterranean Animism cast is the one with the most number of winners: four (Utsuho, Rin, Parsee and Yuugi). Satori and Koishi also got into the finals once.

MikoMiko Spark have been the only resurrected losers who have won a Grand Prix.

TeiReisen have been the only couple to break the 10 minutes time limit.

In the 5th Grand Prix, Nue transformed in various characters: Reisen midway the TeiReisen manzai (you can tell by the different colors of her ears and you can see her silhouette when Tewi attacks her); Murasa that apppears during Nitori and Hina's manzai (you can see the different colour of the scarf); and Chen during the last judgings.

Likewise, the 9th Grand Prix saw Mamizou's first stage appearance, where she disguised as Nue in Amanojaku's manzai and revealed herself during the judgings

Amanojaku's manzai, specifically only Seija, has received the worst score ever by the judges: four zeros and a death sentence by Shikieiki.

In the 8th Grand Prix, Shou Toramaru appears wearing the shimenawa that Nazrin stole from Kanako gave her as a gift during the 5th Grand Prix, replacing the cloth she wears in her official profile. It is unknown whether this was made on purpose, or it was a mistake by the animators.

The name of the pairing consisting of Sakuya & Koakuma, "Za Maido", is an obvious reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's character Dio Brando, as his stand's name 'The World' is pronounced "Za Warudo" in Engrish.

Mima is the only character from the PC-98 era who has appeared at all.

Nitori, Hina, Tewi and Reimu are the only characters that have done manzai in two consecutive editions.

Yukari and Akyuu are the only characters who have been judges in two consecutive editions. Komachi can be considered too as she replaced Shikieiki in the 3rd Grand Prix.

All the characters from Mountain of Faith appeared in the 3rd Grand Prix.

All the characters from Subterranean Animism, appeared in the 4th Grand Prix.

All the characters from Undefined Fantastic Object appeared in the 5th Grand Prix.

All the characters from Ten Desires appeared in the 7th and 8th Grand Prix.

The 7th Grand Prix was the very first edition that didn't feature any member of the Yakumo family (Yukari, Ran or Chen).

The 8th Grand Prix features the most number of characters doing manzai who are taken from Touhou mangas: four (Rinnosuke, Kasen, Akyuu and Kosuzu).

It is also the very first Grand Prix ever to feature two male characters doing manzai: Rinnosuke and Unzan (actually the only two Touhou male characters with official portraits).

Nitori, Hina, Okuu, Yuugi, and Mystia are the only winners of a Grand Prix that haven't appeared as judges or hosts yet.

Since the 1st Grand Prix, Lily White has been known for being speechless, communicating only with the chirping sound she makes in Phantasmagoria of Flower View. Nitori invented a voice translator for her, using the voice of Hatsune Miku.

Warai no Uzume no Mikoto

Warai Uzume no Mikoto's censored face.

Warai no Uzume no Mikoto, one of the judges for the 6th Grand Prix, is an original character, which is probably why her face is censored. She is the goddess of laughter and comedy, and she might be based in Ame no Uzume no Mikoto, just adding "Warai" to her name which means "laughter".

She has won several Lunarian M-1 Grand Prix, and she is also a judge for the preliminary rounds of the "Kingdom of Gods M-1 Grand Prix". She is seen in the credits roll of the 6th Grand Prix next to her partner, who is a man probably based on Sarutahiko Okami, Ame no Uzume's husband.

The Go-Reisho Document is a book written by the goddess of laughter herself. Whoever reads this book will gain as much skills for comedy as the gods.

Warning: Several spoilers below

During Kekkai Shoujou's judging in the 1st Grand Prix, Yukari asks Ran to get a human for her. At the end, Ran kidnaps Marisa for Yukari.

In the extra scene of the 2nd Grand Prix, Marisa reappears in front of Reimu. Marisa tells Reimu that she was able to steal the Go-Reisho Document, and that way, they would win the next Grand Prix easily.

Marisa officially comes back as Reimu's partner in the 3rd Grand Prix, however, Alice had used a fake doll Marisa as a replacement. When Alice sees the real Marisa coming, she explains herself saying that everyone had thought Marisa had been eaten by Yukari.

In the 6th Grand Prix, Warai Uzume, the goddess of laughter, appears as a judge, along with Yorihime and Yukari. The prize for this Grand Prix would be the Go-Reisho Document, which was won by Tokamak Club, but happened to be fake as Shikieiki's stated in an intermission. Then, Yorihime explained what really happened, just before Yukari fled:

Marisa exchanged the actual Go-Reisho Document for a fake one, the one that was used as the prize for the 6th Grand Prix. When Yukari kidnapped Marisa, she kept the actual Go-Reisho Document, erasing Marisa's memories. However, while nobody was at Yukari's house, Komachi had gone to get back the actual Document.

Shikieiki and Komachi, together as Binary Drop, then had to defend their property over the actual Go-Reisho Document in a final round against Tokamak Club, which they won with an unanimous decision by the judges.
